Valsana Hotel & Appartements

Like what people said “Don’t judge the book by its cover!” The Valsana Hotel in Arosa From the moment you arrive, the vibe and atmosphere at the hotel is welcoming and relaxed. The rooms are beautiful, with interiors of the highest quality and a thoughtful design that combines comfort and elegance. Of particular note is my favourite corner - the colourful armchair and so instagrammable (a little piece of paradise) complete with a lounge area, armchairs, a table and balcony. The culinary offerings are equally outstanding, with a selection of high-quality and sustainable dishes served in the hotel's restaurant. The staff also deserves praise for their friendliness and professionalism.

Wonderful hotel with excellent spa facilities. Pleasant restaurant with relaxing adjacent library-style bar. Very helpful and friendly front desk team

Amazing experience; the room, the service, the restaurant ( both breakfast and dinner), the pool, the activities organized by the hotel and the location. Tons of things to do in the area. Feels very high end without any of the (luxury) fuss.

We stayed for a long weekend in a premium double room which was excellent. Even though we were on the 1st floor and overlooking the road the room was silent and the bed very comfortable (especially the pillows). The spa is great - two large saunas and one steam room. The staff were fabulous from start to finish, esp the front desk who made every effort to ensure my wife’s spa appointment was made possible after a mix up with the times. We opted for the “dine around” half board option which was definitely worth doing. The highlight was going up to the hotel’s Alpenblick restaurant on the mountain for dinner. We were met at the base of the mountain by the restaurant’s snow mobile and were whisked up to the warm and cosy lodge where we had the most amazing meal by the log fire. The staff in the Alpenblick were as great as the food and it was by far the most enjoyable meal of the 3 nights. At the end of the meal you are taken back down to the bottom of the slope and were met by the Valsana’s driver to go back to the hotel. We took our meal for the 2nd night in the main restaurant of the Valsana’s (very grown up) sister hotel the Tschuggen Grand. 5 courses were included in the HB option and whilst it was a delicious meal we felt it all to be slightly OTT (jackets and chinos are the order of the day which seems a bit much in a ski resort). For the final night we ate in the Valsana, where sadly we felt the menu to be a bit confused. Nothing really stood out but that might be because we’re predominantly meat eaters rather than vegetarians. Finally as others have said we found the CHF6 charge for a bottle of tap water was a bit much - please stop it! In summary though I’d definitely go back to the Valsana’s, and I’d also highly recommend the Alpenblick experience.

What a lovely hotel. Its very Eco, sustainable, very well positioned for both a walking holiday or a ski holiday and a short walk from the train station. The rooms were very clean and we had a lovely view of the mountains. Staff were super helpful and the day starts with a lovely breakfast buffet. Only downsides, the sitting area downstairs is very dark in the evening, and a big minus is that we asked for tap water at dinner and they charged 6 swiss francs for it, which was quite ridiculous as it is put in the rooms free of charge. We ate out after that and we were not charged in any other restaurants in Arosa for water. For a hotel promoting health and wellbeing tap water should be provided free of charge. However in spite of that we would definitely stay there again a lovely atmosphere, lovely people, nothing was too much trouble so thankyou for a fabulous stay.
